Cooking French!

I decided to do a collaboration with May from A Girl Like You and since I am Austrian and she is French we thought doing something that involves our Cultures would be fun for us to do and interesting to read! We both like cooking therefore we invented a three-course-dinner for each other with typical recipes for our countries we have to cook!

As a starter May told me to do Avocat Mayonnaise. As you can see above
this is not what I did because neither me nor my boyfriend like
Mayonnaise so I toasted some whole grain bread slices in the oven for
about 3 minutes on low heat and put on some mashed avocado spread. For
decoration I put on some pepper, a slice of cucumber and some basil. The
pumpkin seed oil beneath the bread slices is typically Austrian and
adds a little to the sophisticated look.

The Main Menu was a French Vegetable and Veal Ragout served with rice. I really liked the taste of it, I however skipped the last step of adding cream and egg yolk since I'm not comfortable with eating raw eggs due to the Salmonella dangers.

The dessert was probably my favourite part. May instructed me to bake a
cake called Far Breton. It was really extraordinary to bake such a
liquid batter but in the end it worked out. I served it with purred
frozen strawberries, chocolate sauce, banana slices and edible flowers.
It was really fluffy and I'm glad that I added the fruity touch!

Hope you enjoyed reading! Go over to May's blog once you finished mine, I'm really excited to read it too! If you're a blogger too and want to collaborate with me, please contact me either via twitter @Julia_Walker Ofc or via mail: tptmermaid@yahoo.com

This year, my boyfriend surprised me with a very special Valentine's Present!

Last year we drove to Dorset/UK wich was really amazing, but this year he decided to book a lovely hotel in Barcelona/Spain which was sooo cool since I've never been in Spain! ( Although I still wonder how he managed to organise this all by himself...)

As you're reading this I'll probably be sitting on the plane flying back to rainy London, but in this post I want to share some of the products I've taken with me!

(If you're wondering why there are barely any face products mentioned, that's because I'm making them all by myself! If you want a natural skin care routine post, let me know in the comments below!)

Hope you liked this quick and easy recipe! Apple Muffins are one of my favourite things to make when it comes to baking in Autumn, but today I tried out a new recipe to spice things up! I personally like this new one better since the muffins turn out waaaay more moist and fluffy!

Are you planning on recreating this recipe? If yes- send me a picture on twitter (@Julia_WalkerOfc) or tell us in the comments below!
